Apparatus for continuous wet heat treatment of a cloth

Abstract

An apparatus for continuous wet heat treatment of a cloth, comprising a water tank for applying high temperature hot water to a cloth soaked with a treating solution so as to swell the cloth, and a tenter for transporting the thus swelled cloth while giving tension in the width direction of the cloth, and providing three groups of jet nozzles for jetting, respectively, a high temperature and high humidity hot fluid, hot blast and cold blast in succession along the direction of transporting the cloth by means of the tenter.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An apparatus for continuous wet heat treatment of a cloth, comprising: a water tank for applying high temperature hot water to a cloth soaked with a treating solution so as to swell the cloth, and a tenter for transporting the thus swelled cloth while giving tension in the width direction of the cloth, and   three groups of jet nozzles for jetting, respectively, a high temperature and high humidity hot fluid, hot blast and cold blast to the cloth in succession along the direction of transporting the cloth by means of said tenter.   
     
     
       2. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein one group of jet nozzles comprises an outer nozzle pipe having an outer nozzle opening for jetting high temperature hot blast to the cloth, an inner nozzle pipe having an inner nozzle opening provided at the inside of the outer nozzle pipe for jetting high temperature hot water to the cloth, and a pair of frames at both sides of the outer nozzle opening en bloc so as to contact the frames with the cloth transported by means of the tenter for preventing the scattering of the fluid jetted from the inner and outer nozzle openings. 
     
     
       3. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein one group of jet nozzles comprises a nozzle pipe having a nozzle opening for jetting high temperature hot water to the cloth, and a pair of frames at both sides of the nozzle opening en bloc so as to contact the frames with cloth transported by means of the tenter for preventing the scattering of the fluid jetted from the nozzle opening.
